According to the CDC, around a third of adults don’t get enough sleep. This is compared to the recommended guidelines of a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night, and teens and young women are the groups that face particularly severe sleep deprivation. Everyone knows that feeling when they wake up a bit groggy …
A couple of weeks ago, Nigel and I were walking somewhere, and I noticed shadows moving ahead of us. I told him we were chasing shadows. He just thought I was goofy. But, I thought Chasing Shadows sounded like a really good idea for a blog post. Where will that take me, though? You can …
Global writing challenge… Last year, I joined the Global Writing Challenge group as a permanent member. We’ve had some changes in membership with the New Year. Now, our group consists of MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Women Over 50 Living Well, Suzy Turner, Once Upon a Time Happily Ever After, Rosie Amber, and me. We are bidding a maybe not …
We’re ba-ack! Did you miss us? Bonus points if you get the reference! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art.

Lots of new… This year, I’m going to try really hard to link up with Kym at A Fresh Cup of Coffee for her year long series of Twenty-Six Lists. I think she does a photo challenge the other 26 weeks. Since she does this on alternating Tuesdays, I was torn about how to go …
Nigel and I don’t do much of anything for New Year’s Eve. In fact, he’ll be snoring long before midnight. I’ll be up; I’m always up at midnight! I can really only remember celebrating New Year’s Eve twice in our married life. The first time was before we had kids, and the second one was …
I think so… The above outfit is what I had intended to showcase on the blog today. I’m wearing the April Cornell Weekend Jersey Blouse with my trusty J Jill pima leggings. Mine are from last year. I think the blue gray color would be similar if not the same. I’m not wearing any makeup …
A little history… Grab a beverage and get comfy…this is gonna be a long one! When I was teaching, my corporation was heavily (as in totally) involved in ITI, HET, CLASS, whatever you want to call it!
